There are two types of labs in the course:

• Virtual Workbench Labs provide learners with valuable hands-on practice installing, configuring, and troubleshooting computer hardware in an immersive 3D environment. Each scenario features a Tutorial Mode guides the learner through step-by-step instruction, allowing learners to understand and practice 3D controls, an Explore Mode that enables learners to identify and manipulate hardware components in a sandbox environment, and an Assisted Mode that takes learners step by step through a procedure, offering help when needed.

Learners can explore how the different components of a desktop, laptop, and peripherals work together as well as work through different processes for installing and configuring computer components.
• Virtual Machine Labs utilize virtual machines built to simulate a server network so a learner can gain real-world, hands-on experience with tools, applications, and operating systems they would utilize in a job environment, such as Microsoft Windows or Kali Linux.

Virtual machine labs are also available in different modes.
